I fucking loved it.
This looks fucking atrocious.
Movies continue to be the least-appealing medium to me.
Apparently not. She got her full quota and the other big actors got 2-5 million each.So...Paramount wide released it obvious because of JLaw. My question is did Jlaw take a pay cut for her boyfriend.
If you say anime is the most-appealing I might scream.This looks fucking atrocious.

The trailer before "It" was embarrassing. I knew that the film was an arthouse movie but that trailer made it look like a big mainstream horror movie. The narrator was saying "THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER", "REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE WHEN YOU SAW MOTHER" and "BUY YOUR TICKETS AFTER THE MOVIE"
I'm 100% unsurprised, people were duped, just like It Comes At Night & The Witch.
it seems to me that movies that dont leave the viewer feeling 'good' have a hard time getting a high cinemascore.
No, it got a C-.
That movie had a protagonist to root for and a hopeful ending for people to feel good about though (he finally becomes free again)"12 Years a Slave" managed a "A" though.
Just make it good.
Yeah that trailer was horrible. Narrator was very annoyingThe trailer before "It" was embarrassing.

Thus may very well be the weirdest thing I have read on GAF.This looks fucking atrocious.

A CinemaScore of B is like an F in real life. Im not sure what an F would be equivalent to.
Ok, that trailer was lame. It even adds one bitThe trailer before "It" was embarrassing. I knew that the film was an arthouse movie but that trailer made it look like a big mainstream horror movie.

Huh, must not have noticed it. Since there are only a couple of shots of it.That moment is in the movie
This got an F but fucking Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star got B?
I don't see how that post makes me not understand what cinema scores is.I think you should read what cinemascore is before commenting.

YesCinemascores are a factor of what's trendy, marketing( you want to pull in the audience to enjoy it), and movie quality (higher quality movies can pull more from the fringes of people who would be interested).
Haven't seen it yet but if the casual audiences hate it, it's probably great. Even more excited to see it now.
Isn't that what he's saying with the post?Or maybe he created a film that appeals to an extreme niche
"12 Years a Slave" managed a "A" though.
Just make it good.
I am more interested in a movie getting a F from the wrong crowd that movies targeted to get a A from EVERY crowd.
all transformers movies range from B+ to A
whatever this score is measuring, there's clearly a slant towards movies that are enjoyable for their entertainment value
these films aren't exactly uplifting, but were marketed correctly
gone girl: B
eternal sunshine: B-
nightcrawler: B-
but it does seem like the worst thing you can do is misleading marketing
unbreakable: C
eyes wide shut: D-
That had some fairly honest marketing rightDetroit surprisingly got an A-.

Ah so many takes of "The audience must be wrong!"
Always enjoy those.

Sure, but do you really not want this way weirder movies to exist?But isn't it great when a small movie hits that right spot that appeals to both the mainstream and the niche, like Baby Driver?

Except the trailer doesn't give that impression at all. "Spooky home invasion movie"? What? Have you seen the typical trailers for home invasion movies; they tend to have a pretty similar template, even the playful ones like You're NextI mean, the audience is going to be upset when they think Oh, J Law in a spooky home invasion movie this should be good and get blindsided as fuck. An F doesnt reflect the quality of the film at all.
My showing was full of the most bewildered people after the ending, was a great time.
Cinemascore is an American thing, so it could be also since America is a very religious country, that how the film goes is kind of I guess blasphemous so Americans got pissed off? I think that's at least part to it. The main trailer markets it as a domestic invasion thriller and it sticks to that throughout the film, just has a lot more ambition and allegorical elements to it rather than scares and monsters (Conjuring, Insidious, etc).
I bet all Kubrick films would get F Cinemascores if it were a thing back then XD

BabyDriver do not appeal to all markets.

The Shining had a slow start at the box office, but gained momentum, eventually doing well commercially during the summer of 1980 and making Warner Bros. a profit. It opened at first to mixed reviews. Janet Maslin of The New York Times lauded Nicholson's performance and praised the Overlook Hotel as an effective setting for horror, but wrote that "the supernatural story knows frustratingly little rhyme or reason [ ] Even the film's most startling horrific images seem overbearing and perhaps even irrelevant." Variety was critical, saying, "With everything to work with, ... Kubrick has teamed with jumpy Jack Nicholson to destroy all that was so terrifying about Stephen King's bestseller." A common initial criticism was the slow pacing, which was highly atypical of horror films of the time. Roger Ebert did not review the film on his television show when first released, and in print complained that it was hard to connect with any of the characters. It was the only one of Kubrick's last nine films to receive no nominations at all from either the Oscars or Golden Globes, but was nominated for a pair of Razzie Awards, including Worst Director and Worst Actress (Duvall), in the first year that award was given.
